TAP Air Portugal Flight Compensation Guide

Step 1: Determine Eligibility for Flight Compensation

To check if you qualify for compensation from TAP Air Portugal due to a flight delay, cancellation or overbooking, here’s a simplified guide:

• Flight Departure: Ensure your flight departed from an EU, EEA, or UK airport. Even if your flight was with a non-EU/EEA airline but left from one of these airports, you may still qualify.
• Timing: Your flight must have experienced a delay of more than three hours upon your arrival at your destination. If your flight was canceled less than 14 days before its scheduled departure, you may also be eligible.
• TAP's Responsibility: You can claim compensation if the delay or cancellation was within TAP Air Portugal’s control, such as technical issues, crew shortages, or scheduling problems.
• Valid Booking: Make sure you have a valid booking or reservation for the affected flight.
• Arrival Time: Compensation is based on your actual arrival time at your final destination, not the departure time.

Important: If you were denied boarding, get a Denied Boarding Form from the gate agent. This document proves you were denied boarding and shows how it affected your trip.
